Joy Torgé är filosofie doktor i Äldre och åldrande och universitetslektor i gerontologi. Hon har en tvärvetenskaplig bakgrund i ämnena filosofi, tillämpad etik och folkhälsovetenskap. Hon är medlem i forskningsmiljön ARN-J (Aging Research Network - Jönköping) vid Jönköping University.
Joys avhandling ”Ageing and caring as couples with disabilities” (2014, Linköpings universitet) byggde på kvalitativa intervjuer med äldre par där både hade långvariga eller livslånga fysiska funktionsnedsättningar, om sina erfarenheter av att vårda varandra i hemmet.
Forskning
Under 2016-2018 fortsätter hon sin forskning om äldre par och anhörigomsorg i ett nytt FORTE-finansierad projekt, ”Familjeliv och anhörigomsorg inom äldrevården: Par med olika hjälpbehov i särskilt boende”. Projektet handlar om vad det innebär för ett par, där bara en partner har behov av särskilt boende, att bo tillsammans i ett äldreboende enligt parboendegarantin.
Joy är också med som medarbetare i ett projektet handlar om personer över 65 år med psykiska sjukdomar. En delstudie berör hur frivilligorganisationer, som riktar sig mot personer med psykisk ohälsa, ger för stöd till den äldre målgruppen.
Undervisning
Joy är koordinator för det Nordiska Mastersprogrammet i Gerontologi, NordMaG, som är ett samarbete mellan Jönköping University, Lunds universitet, Islands universitet och Norges teknisk-naturvetenskapliga univeristet (NTNU) i Gjøvik. Från hösten 2017 är hon programansvarig för magister/master programmen vid Institutet för Gerontologi.
Övriga uppdrag
Joy är Editorial Assistant och Book Review Editor i den vetenskapliga tidskriften i socialgerontologi, International Journal of Ageing and Later Life (IJAL) och suppleant i SGS, Sveriges Gerontologiska Sällskap.
